描述了场成像远红外线光谱仪(FIFI-LS)的设计，它是红外天文平流层观测站(SOFIA)上的一种设备级仪器。FIFI-LS是一种用于中分辨率光谱分析的成像光谱仪。自2014年投入使用以来，它已经进行了50多次索非亚试飞和科学飞行。在2014年和2015年初作为主要研究仪器运行后，它于2015年被接受为设施科学仪器。除了对设计的描述外，我们还报告了飞行性能和操作概念。我们还概述了FIFI-LS的科学机会，并描述了FIFI-LS观测如何补充和完成赫歇尔天文台上的PACS仪器的观测。
We describe the design of the Field-Imaging Far-Infrared Line Spectrometer (FIFI-LS), operated as a Facility-Class instrument on the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). FIFI-LS is an imaging spectrometer for medium resolution spectroscopy. Since being commissioned in 2014, it has performed over 50 SOFIA commissioning and science flights. After operating as a principal investigator instrument in 2014 and early 2015, it was accepted as a Facility Science Instrument in 2015. In addition to the description of the design, we report on the in-flight performance and the concept of operation. We also provide an overview of the science opportunities with FIFI-LS and describe how FIFI-LS observations complement and complete observations with the PACS instrument on the Herschel observatory.
